A 2 month surplus is fine and dandy, but the overall tone of the article and this thread is one of relief as if the budget is balanced and we can all get on with our happy little lives. The new crime bill hasnt been implemented yet (which will put a huge dent in the budget), and we already know that the Conservatives lied about the cost of the F35s so how can we all of the sudden trust their numbers? They are a dishonest group of over-privileged thugs. I just dont see how they can be praised for a 2 month surplus when you actually take a look at where the cuts are going. Lets wait and see before we start partying like its 2012.
